The executive officer. blameless a. a
citizen, is handicapped by a marshal
under obligations to the men who need
his watchful care whiskey is making a
determined effort to set itself above the
law.
The negro is the only class in our
midst that is defenceless under the
hands of the bully: when "a ruffian and
his gang of followers terrorized Palatka,
punish his outrages: when he was sent
to Jail for assaults on defencel.-ss negroes,
another negro signed his bail and loosed
him on the streets, that he might again
and again be guilty If assault and bat
terry. Yet the negro who released him
is supported by the votes of his brothers
for office, Let the quiet voter think be
fore he votes for Purcell, who was
Knights friend; let him think before he
opposes the element which punished
him until h. was compelled To- leave Pa
latka.
When the negro breaks the law, shall
he not be punished; does "A man make

Judge Cooley's opinion that the Inter
State Commissioners are authorized by
the act creating them to grant special
rates to railroads which have to compete
with lines of water transportation APP
plies with particular force to Florida.
There is not line in the State. and
scarcely one, if any, entering it which
does not have competitors in steamer
lines. The proposed Sub-Tropical Expo
sition Of next winter comes under a dis
tinct provision of the act which exempts
goods carried to fairs and expositions
from the prohibition of special rates and
discriminating freight charges.
Otherwise there would be- a practical
prohibition of what are generally CON
ceded to be the best means of advertis-
ing the resources of State or bringing
together the products of the different
portions of the country To the end that
public knowledge may increase.

The Parties In Palatka.

The attitude of the voters in the city
election now pending has already been
plainly defined. How do the political
parties appear and what record are they
making for themselves in an election
where the disorderly element is plainly
arrayed against its opposite: The negro
is Republican; as class he needs most
the protection of the law against the
bully and the ruffian; how do the parties
stand ON the issue: The negro has al
ways protested that he enjoyed less than
his full rights under the law. how do the
parties stand here?
In an election where the issues have
been closely drawn on questions of law
and morals the republican, party is re-
eeirin9 the unqualified support Of those
tcho sell rotes for money or trhiskey, are
fined in the police court, are disorderly
ON the streets and disreputable in public.
The Bosses are supporting a ticket on
which republican and democrat are
fused to rally all elements in our midst
opposed TO the enforcement of the law.

The Railroad Commission.

According to an interview in the
Times Union, Major Conant has not
changed his views regarding a Railroad
by PALATKA News representative some
time ago on the same subject. Then, as
now, he declared himself in favor of the
appointment of such Commission, if
composed of sensible, level headed men,
free from the control of railroads ON the
one hand and from demagoguery
ON the other, and believed it
could accomplish much good. Major
Conant's idea is that such COM
mission should have power To act ~ an
arbitrator between the people and the
corporations with the right of appeal
guaranteed to each; an arbiter to which
the people should have ready and easy
access. In the interview published yes
terday he says:
If fair and Just law could be enacted
1t would conserve the interests of the
roads and would at the same time redress
the grievances of the people. In the
very nature of things, with the multifar-
lous and multitudinous transactions be-
tween public carriers and the patrons,
grievances will arise. They cannot be
avoided, try as you will. III the public
had Just board of arbitration To- whom
they could find speedy and ready ac-
cess and before whom they could lay
their complaints it would be well. Then,
too, the railroad companies would have
forum before which they could place
themselves right, and doubtless both the
complainant and the corporation com
planned against would be thereby enabled
to come to a better understanding and
TO more perfect harmony. An extreme
commission composed of demagogues
would have precisely the reverse effect.
He does not think that a wise Railroad
Commission law would deter capitalists
from investing in railroads in this State.
Such a law, every sensible, man must
perceive, should be drawn up with a
view to the INTERPRETATION of the people
and the railroads. Each. in a State such
as Florida, is mutually dependent ON the
other, and Major Conant is not afraid
that law so worded as To conserve the
peoples true interests will hurt the rail
rOads
